Danby DCR88BLDD Owner's Use And Care Guide

To adjust the temperature settings, locate the thermostat dial inside the refrigerator compartment. Turn the dial clockwise to lower the temperature and counterclockwise to raise it. Monitor the temperature for a few hours before making further adjustments.
First, check if the refrigerator is plugged in and the thermostat is set correctly. Ensure the door seals are clean and not damaged. Make sure the refrigerator is not overloaded and has proper ventilation. If the issue persists, consider contacting a professional technician.
The Danby DCR88BLDD is a manual defrost refrigerator. It should be defrosted when the frost build-up reaches about 1/4 inch (6mm) to maintain efficiency.
To prevent frost build-up, make sure the door is closed tightly after use and avoid placing hot or warm items inside the refrigerator. Keep the door seals clean and ensure the unit is not overfilled to allow proper air circulation.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. Use a mixture of mild detergent and warm water to wipe the interior and exterior surfaces. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before plugging back in.
Check if the refrigerator is level and on a stable surface. Ensure there are no items touching the back wall inside the unit. If the noise persists, it may be due to the compressor or fan, and you should contact a service technician.
To change the light bulb, unplug the refrigerator and locate the bulb cover inside the unit. Remove the cover and unscrew the old bulb. Replace it with a new bulb of the same type and wattage, then reattach the cover.
The recommended storage temperature is between 34°F and 40°F (1°C and 4°C) to keep food fresh and safe. Adjust the thermostat as needed to maintain this temperature range.
